Bob Currie came over, he lived across the street and up the hill a little ways. He came over as a friend. And I went for it. He said, "Peggy I don't know if your son is guilty or not but my kid could not remember because it's too many years ago." [Ray Buckey was arrested on 3 counts of child molestation on September 7, 1983]…Now Bob's trying to say that all his kids were molested by Ray….So Bob would come over. He would tease me and say he had a crush on me. And I said that's a bunch of baloney. Bob would come [over] and say will how are things going Peg? I can still see the last time when we were sitting and he said: "You know Peg, I was at a meeting last night. They're out to destroy you and your mother, take your school, your reputation, all you money from you." And I said, "Oh Bob, that's silly, they’re not going to do that." That's exactly what they did do. Now Bob kept asking me - he wanted to buy the school. Even asked my mother. He got very provoked at me one time. He called me after we closed the school-we closed the school down, not the state. We decided after the threats that it wasn't fair to Babbs [another teacher] and the children so we closed it down in about the middle of January. In February I was attacked in my back yard and cut all
up between
my legs. I had been getting threatening calls and letters, and
then
one of my fathers [a McMartin parent], (father's name) came to the
door.
This was after the school was closed. He had all this beard and
goatee.
First I didn't recognize him and of course I have a screen door.
And he called me every name unbelievable under the sun. And I of course
don't know at first who he is. And he said, "And if I see your
son
I'm going to kill him"….I had to open the screen door…and I saw Ray
down
at the end [of the street] and I thought "Oh please God, don't have him
come up here because this dad is out of control. He [the father]
was so angry that as he left our yard he took the gate and threw it so
hard [against the house] that he broke it and knocked off some things
on
my wall. Of course, I called Chuck [her husband] and he called
the
police who came down and filed a report. In February….I very
stupidly
took a small pair of scissors [for protection] and I let my dogs in the
house and I went out to the back. You know, in Manhattan Beach
how
houses are on the side of a hill and you have to walk back to the
alley.
And as I walked back…someone grabbed me from the back, and I passed
out.
This guy threatened me that he would harm my mother. He took
scissors
and he cut me on the side of the vagina, just cut me all
over.
He said if I told anyone he would get my mom.
